I am sorry I was looking at the wrong problem :(

Answer 13

that's ok

Answer 14

ok sorry in the book it dosent really say anything it just gave me that pic. I have above and it just said find CD

Answer 15

ok I'm assuming that DAC = DAB

if so then you can say

CD = BD

x+6 = 3x - 2

Answer 16

ok thats wat I though you had to do but I didn't no Thank you very much

Answer 17

yw

Answer 18

so then would I subtract 6 to -2 then subtract 3x to x

Answer 19

correct, and that gives you what?

Answer 20

sorry its gonna take me a while to get that I have a caculater but it on my ipad so I need to start that up but then what do you the x

Answer 21

you need to completely isolate x

Answer 22

so you need to get x on one side and get everything else to the other side

Answer 23

ok so I got -2x=-8

Answer 24

now divide both sides by -2 to completely isolate x

Answer 25

and that will be my answer??

Answer 26

that will give you the value of x

Answer 27

but you want CD

Answer 28

the good news is that we know that

CD = x+6

so once you find x, you need a few more steps at most to find CD

Answer 29

ooh ok I think I can get it from her lol Thank you very much
